Re: usb tape

That's not going to happen. The only USB support HP-UX had in 11.0, which is now out of support, was for keyboard and mouse.

The only tape drives that will work for you are SCSI or Fibre Channel attached drives.

No way, this is not supported and not working.

Hope this helps!

Re: usb tape

Shalom,

The only devices supported on HP-UX to my knowledge are mice and keyboards.

That may change but for a reliable backup you need a supported OS and suportted tape drive. Right now you have neither.
